 *
 * This Application implements the MME side of the S1-MME interface between
 * the MME node and the eNB nodes and the MME side of the S11 interface between
 * the MME node and the SGW node. It supports the following functions and messages:
 *
 *  - Bearer management functions including dedicated bearer establishment
 *  - NAS signalling
 *  - Tunnel Management messages
 *
 * Others functions enumerated in section 4.4.2 of 3GPP TS 23.401 are not supported.
